Landwasser Viaduct

Landwasser Viaduct

Amazing Viaducts and Bernina Express Trains. Landwasser Viaduct 7477 Filisur Switzerland. Aussichtsplattform Nord, Landwasserviadukt. The construction of the main pillars of the Landwasser viaduct in 1901/1902 was considered a huge architectural feat, as this took place without scaffolding and solely two cranes. And 106 years later, in the year 2009, the masonry and track trough of the viaduct were repaired for the very fist time. The viaduct wall of natural dolomite lime is 142 meters long and at 65 meters high extends in a curve over the rugged Landwasser Valley and inside a tunnel, the entrance of which is on a vertical rock wall. From the Filisur village you reach a beautiful vantage point in just half an hour on foot, from where you have amazing views of the viaduct. Next a path leads either down to the river, under the viaduct and into a ravine, or at the fork to the lookout point in around 2 hours and on to the Wiesner viaduct. This viaduct you can cross on a footpath while enjoying incredible in-depth views down under. www.myswitzerland.com Landwasserviadukt - Landwasser Viaduct - Le viaduc de Landwasser
